Episode 331 - (Squanto's) Back in Black

Of course this episode, the dorks that attended Prereleases are going to tell you how they did.  That's a given at this point, don't you think? But we're throwing a curve at you this episode with the addition of an old friend.  Squanto is back this episode!  One of the founding members of The Mana Pool, Squanto has returned so you guys can get reacquainted with him before the livestream this weekend.  More on that later. The real point of this episode is Black!  We're talking all about the flavor, mechanics, and general awesomeness of Black as a color in Magic.  Did you know that Black can justify almost anything in you either make them sacrifice some resource or make it a zombie?  Apparently you can!  You can learn all this and more this episode! In other news, WE DID IT!  We broke the first goal of $10,000 on the Kickstarter!  Not only did we break it, but we broke it WHILE RECORDING!  So you guys get to hear me lose my mind in the middle of the show.  So now that we're good, let's shoot for stretch goals! We're no longer pushing so that you'll get stuff, you're guaranteed stuff now!  We're pushing to get everyone BETTER stuff!  The more people pledge, the better everything gets for everyone! To help with the big push to the end, we're doing a livestream this weekend on Twitch!  Join me (Chewie), Mike, Cluze from MNM and Card Advantage, Scott (roommate and webmaster) and Squanto (as producer) on Saturday starting at 10am Eastern time and going until we're sick of it.  Join us for some Magic and lots of insanity!   The Mana Pool's Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/themanapool/the-mana-pool-mtg-merchandise-videos-podcasts-andOur livestream: http://twitch.tv/themanapoolFollow Squanto on Twitter: @EcksellHSSquanto's Hearthstone stream: http://twitch.tv/ecksell   Intro & Outro Music – Diamond by Swift – http://www.myspace.com/swiftband Break Music – Fade to Black by Metallica - http://www.metallica.com This episode’s post: http://themanapool.com/podcast/episode-331 Forum thread for this episode: http://cardshark.freeforums.org/episode-331-squanto-s-back-in-black-t1021.html Check out our archive at http://themanapool.com/category/podcast Email us at [email protected] Follow us on Twitter at @TheManaPool Our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/TheManaPool Our YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheManaPoolTube Our Google+ page: http://gplus.to/themanapool Cardshark Member Promotions: http://www.cardshark.com/Promotions/Member-Promotions.aspx Subscribe to our RSS feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/themanapool
